That's a great idea. But I don't think anyone in their right mind could do something so foolish.

Had a great time this year. Even Nicole can’t stop us from our steak on a stake. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221113/2ff6a360ebc50831a069f9a8912eb0b2.jpg
Thanks eveyone for defying the threat...
I’ve been checking the sign-ups, but I don’t see anyone named Nicole.

Just looked at the signup sheet. Wow what a great response. So much so that if you have a stand can you bring it just in case?

Just over a week to go. Here are few updates.
1. Layin Flat has offered to treat everyone to a Cajun Shrimp Boil on Friday evening.
2. Redrum has arranged for firewood to be delivered. Help him...
Firewood update;
Redrum has arrange for delivery of fire wood. Park is quite particular about bring wood in.
To help him out if we each can pass along $10 to him at the hang that would be great....
For a Shrimp Boil? I be sure to bring the stove. And no Matt, I won't forget the propane this time.
That sounds Fantastic!

That would greatly appreciated. Adds a new twist to what we’ve done in the past. Let me ask you this. Typically I like to use a mix of meats in my chili. What would you suggest to go with deer? I...
After years of wanting to go to this hang, I am glad that I finally did. The 4* personal best was worth every shiver. Actually slept fine except for the 6-7 calls to nature each night.
Enjoyed...
Looking foreard to this hang. I’ve been tinkering with my new wuilts so I should be ready. Already contemplating Friday’s Chili.

Im at in Zion ATM. Wish I had my gear with me. On New Years Day it was -2. That would have been fun. So far the lowest I’ve been able to take my gear down to is 10 at the Capitol Chili Butt hang....
Every year I tell myself I’m going to come down for this. In fact I had my bags pack one year but that blizzard came. Again this year I will try to put all the wheels in motion to get there. But I...
My son, Jordan, just found out he will be doing a 4 month mission stint with ACMNP at Zion National Park. Last winter he was at the Smokies.
For those who have been there, how are the hanging...

That is great! Now if you get there before me (which you always seem to do) see if there is a good place in ‘I’ for your new parachute tarp. I seem to remember it having less hammock trees but better...
One is not allowed to bring uncertified wood it the park. Fortunately Redrum has arranged to have a load of certified wood delivered. Be sure to see him to chip in. Woohoo!

We are a month away and here are a few notes.

After discussions at MAHHA, it was decided to bring back the ‘Growler Challenge’. It’s not really a challenge persay. Just bring a growler filled with your favorite beverage to share. (William, I...
Update: Baby was born at 8:00 this morning. All is good.

Just got my hands on a third camping Dutch Oven. Now I need some suggestions for a third dish for the stacked cooking. Already planning on mac & beer cheese and a dump cake. Or if anyone has a dish...
I know I can search for this online but it will be easier to ask here. What will the temps be like overnight for the hang? Being from VA, Im a bit unfamiliar with Maine weather at this time of year....
An idea was raised at the MidHHA Hang. We all like Dutch Oven cooking and want to try stacked cooking. So, for Saturday night we will do just that. Bring your favorite item to prepare and your oven...

Good news. Looks like it will now be three of us. My wife wants to make it a full blown Vacation with an excursion to Mt Dessert afterwards. No argument from me.

My wife grew up going to Maine (Mt Dessert Island) each Summer. We honeymooned there in ‘88, taken our kids multiple times. Finally she has agreed to go to a hammock hang with me for the first time....
